Switched to LMDE and love it

No hate to Ubuntu LTS (my old OS) as I think for an entry to Linux, it’s about the best there is, and then I just got used to it and then I started getting more and more annoyed with Snaps.

FFWD a couple of years and I decided to switch to Mint but I wanted something that was entirely free of Snaps, not just blocked, so LMDE seemed the best fit. I get all the good bits of Mint without the Canonical enforced stuff. It’s been running a week now and after plenty of tweaks (installing Gnome for example) looks and feels exactly how I wanted it without interference from Canonical.

I’m still using Ubuntu, but am a very casual user and mostly use the GUI for everything.

I keep hearing about how people don’t like snaps, why don’t people like snaps?

Largely because canonical(the company that controls Ubuntu) has sole control over the format.

Probably my biggest issue with snaps was that as a student carrying my laptop all day I would notice snapd eating a lot of power and removing the service helped my battery life significantly

Oh, okay, thanks. It’s constantly running in the background?
